Rutherglen Lanark

Many of my paternal ancestors come from RUTHERGLEN Lanark.

Rutherglen is located 1 km E and 3 kms S of Glasgow.


Most of them married in RUTHERGLEN parish, Lanark

Rutherglen and close-by areas of Eastwood & Cathcart Renfrew---

Rutherglen has always striven to maintain some autonomy since its take-over by Glasgow in the 1970s.
It is the oldest burgh in Scotland - 500 years older than Glasgow, in fact --
and is proud enough of its history to have its own museum.
